The Patton Model 431M new G.703/G.704 toolless insulating displacement connecting (IDC) module baluns are ideal for carriers seeking a cost-effective, space-efficient, and proven method of impedance matching 75-Ohm coax to 120-Ohm single-conductor connections. The baluns provide transparent bi-directional signal conversion with no AC or battery power required.
Various industry standard types of coaxial connectors (75 Ohm) are available including male and female combinations of BNC, 1.6/5.6, 1.0/2.3, and Type 43. The 3-pole toolless IDC connector used for wrapping single-conductor connections (120 Ohm) utilizes a slit in the cable anchor to allow the cable to be inserted after termination. The toolless IDC connector is also offset so that a cable can be positioned between baluns on the DDF/patch panel as required. The toolless IDC connector is clearly labeled A, B, and G (Ground) to make installation more convenient.
